Description

Showfont  displays data about a font that matches the given pattern.  The information shown includes font
       information, font properties, character metrics, and character bitmaps.

       The wildcard character "*" can be used to match any sequence of characters (including none) in  the  font
       name,  and  "?"  can be used to match any single character.  The "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to
       prevent them from being expanded by the shell.  If no pattern is given, "*" is assumed.
